Description

This scarce, large map is based on Mercator's projection and was compiled by Lieut. Henry Roberts from Cook's surveys after the third expedition. The map, centered on Australasia with the routes of the Endeavour (1768-71) and Resolution (1772-75 and 1776-80) is illustrated with occasional notes along the tracks.

Roberts began his compilation under Cook's supervision and completed it after Cook's death. An almost identical version of this map was first used in the official account of the third voyage, A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean in 1784 in an uncolored format. Soon thereafter, Faden published his own colored version including additional information, among them are several location names appearing here probably for the first time. Faden uses color to distinguish the different tracks of Cook's voyages with a legend at bottom left.

Color is also used along the coastlines surrounding the Pacific Ocean to identify areas discovered by the British and the Russians. Inland detail is confined to river systems and a few place names, although Robert Hearns' expedition through Canada is will depicted.

The colorful Faden edition is much more attractive than the "official" Roberts edition and it is also much more scarce on the market.

Condition / Coloring
We indicate the condition of each item and use our unnique HiBCoR grading system in which four key items determine a map's value: Historical Importance, Beauty, Condition/Coloring and Rarity.
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.

We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century, then "colored", or "attractive colors" will be used.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
